Initially built in 1919 as a two-lane road and duplicated in 1951, the road partially circumnavigates Sydney Airport with its north-western terminus in Mascot, heading east and then south and then south-east, with its south-eastern terminus with The Grand Parade in Ramsgate.The road forms major links with the Southern Cross Drive and the M5 East, both part of the Sydney Orbital Network.
